Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with esophageal-gastric fundal varices caused by liver cirrhosis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is limited reporting of treatment options for early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in esophageal-gastric fundal varices patients. Historically, surgery is the preferred treatment for squamous cell carcinoma; however, esophagectomy is associated with higher complications and death rates. The difficulty of such an operation was the varicose veins around the mucosa of the lesion. Possibility of concomitant intraoperative fatal bleeding. Previous studies have proved the effectiveness of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) paired with endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) for treating early esophageal cancers on esophageal varices.

Case description

We reported an effective endoscopic treatment of such conditions in a 62-year-old man with liver cirrhosis. Af
